We can all make a change. Together, we’re a union that can work to make things better, on campus and beyond. UCL is yours, so it should be what you want it to be. We’re led by students. That means you’re in charge.

We’re here to make you feel at home. All of our spaces are your spaces. We’re transforming our bars, cafes, fitness and study areas to create the places to make friends and relax. And as a not-for-profit charity, we put anything we earn into making the union better for you.

Driven by drama, sport, art or politics? Students’ Union UCL offers all sorts of ways to discover something that will become a part of who you are. Get up on stage. Be creative. Lead a movement. Push yourself further than you imagined.

University is a big, exciting place. But life isn’t always easy. We’re here to give you support when you need us, care about the things you care about, and fight for you when need someone in your corner. Our job is to make sure you feel supported every day.

BME Students

Black & Minority Ethnic Students’ Network

Our network includes students from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Caribbean and Latin American backgrounds, as well as anyone who identifies as BME. The network is here to empower and celebrate all BME students.

The Black and Minority Ethnic Network represents the views of students’ at UCL who self-define as BME, including but not limited to, students with African, Asian, Arab and Caribbean heritages. This involves meetings to discuss issues that affect the network, running of campaigns and projects, and attending socials.

The Network is chaired by the Black and Minority Ethnic Students’ Officer, a full-time sabbatical officer. This year, the officer is Samira Abdalla. The Officer attends council meetings and voices the concerns of BME students to UCL and UCLU. The BME Network also has an elected committee. The role of this committee is to ensure the network is representative of its members.

The Network holds regular meetings (known as forum meetings) throughout the year, allowing for full transparency and accountability and provide opportunities for motions to be taken to the Union Council. These meetings will be open for all BME students.

The network is governed by a constitution which offers further detail on how the BME Network is run.

The BME Network is a dynamic Network and it is what you make of it. If you have any ideas for events, socials, campaigns, or anything else, come along to one of our meetings or get in touch. Our goal is to empower and enable students and therefore any time ideas are welcome.
